[wxqc] Weatherlink 5.7

[Victor Engel]

OK. Thanks. I didn't know if Davis released the port or not. Since I've
already installed VP Live, I'll take some time today to make sure it's set
up properly. I tried it out briefly, and it wasn't updating APRS, so I
figured there was a port contention. Given what you've stated, it's probably
a setup issue.
